Nano Super-Efficient Toilet

The Nano, a high-efficiency dual-flush toilet, aims to vastly reduce
the amount of water wasted by everyday users. With toilets
making up 24 percent of a household’s water use, reducing the
flush volume easily allows for water savings. And, careful design
innovations allow this unit to perform its essential feature without
clogging.
With flush options of 0.5 and 0.8 gallons per flush (GPF)—much
lower than the industry standard—the Nano beats even the 1 GPF
models from competitors that have begun to show up in the
marketplace. Niagara’s secret is a flushing system called Stealth.
It’s a well-tested and effective discharge system that pressurizes
water to remove solids more efficiently. This reduces the risk of
clogs, yet is not overly loud in the flush or the refill phase.
Both of the dual flush options of the product meet and exceed
WaterSense standard, and save up to 82 percent more water than
less-efficient products. Such a reduction in water use also assists
properties in meeting standards required for green lending and
net-zero building.

Nasoni Fountain Faucets

Nasoni Fountain Faucets are the world’s first such items and they are
quite the sight. With the flip of a switch, the product’s patented
Dynamic Fountain Flow Technology redirects the path of water from
the downspout to the fountain hole at the top of the downspout.
Washing a face, brushing teeth, shaving or simply taking a drink just
became a lot easier—and a lot more efficient.
When used in fountain mode, the faucet uses 88 percent less
water than existing faucets. The potential water saving in the U.S.
could be as high as 136 billion gallons annually just from toothbrushing
alone, which is the equivalent of over 9 million backyard swimming
pools.
Nasoni can reduce the possibility of sickness and ill health, for
consumers and installers. Water fountains are self-cleaning; simply
turn them on and anything present is rinsed away, providing access to
clean drinking water without the nasty airborne germs.
